Beginning to Strip the Nissan Gloria + 300zx Rain Drifting!

[@evanproud4090]

im so committed to seeing the gloria posts as soon as possible

[@evanproud4090]

also a 1j or 2j swap would be so sick in it

[@DanielSanGiuliano-hk3hl]

That’s a fact

This Gloria is about to be back at its old glory in no time

[@officiallilsideshow]

It's gonna be the glory-a (sorry that was bad)

[@NatPeterson.89_]

you’re honestly the best channel for jdm content. so underrated, i can’t wait to see you own a garage in the future and see your kick ass line up of cars

[@skylonthedragon]

she looks so good sliding, i still cant get over how much better it looks lowered

[@cadenginoplos941]

Don't swap the VG! They are pretty stout and can reliably and easily make 400 with valve springs cams and a turbo. They came in a bunch of nissan cars including the Z31 so there is plenty of after market support. A 71c s13 transmission is also bolt on if you have a manual vg bell housing

[@psementalist]

Gloria is getting back into shape in no time seeing the amazing work you did on your 240sx piece of cake

[@Leandro3065PT]

if i read currectly, the nissan gloria came with a diesel option being the RD28, which is basicly a diesel RB, so your theory stands correct, you might be able to just drop in an RB After more reading, turns out the gloria had options all the way from the VQ25-VG30 to the infamous RB25 (neo) i believe

[@nadayehaa]

Your mum comes with diesel options

[@nadayehaa]

I believe

[@officiallilsideshow]

I wanna RD28 swap a 300zx (z31 or z32, don't matter) or any 240/180 I can find, cheap, I also found an old Maxima from the 70s, that would be sick to swap too, but I just have an RD28 with a 5 speed laying around in my house (in my bedroom out of all places)

[@cptmaciek5031]

Mike's always making our weekends 10x better with those uploads🔥

[@Antiliv.]

Duuuuuude I genuinely can't wait for that new quarter to get delivered! Been toying around with the idea of CA swapping a Gloria, y'all never got them I don't think but they were the only engine offered over here in the UK for the s13

[@PrizzaMike]

CA swap would be interesting!

[@erixccjc2143]

Yeah they got ka's and everyone else got the CA's

Just if its hard to find I wanted to say I use Nissan oil filter 15208-55YOA and oem sparkplugs are NKG R BCPR5ES in the VG30I Great vid sorry about the cats

[@thunderheartgaming4416]

Super cool to see the gloria getting some love

[@x2-mb]

Bro your the best youtuber keep up the good work love from Switzerland 🇨🇭

[@tomosarmy]

300zx sliding is probably the coolest thing ever

[@chaytonnewman9173]

for the oil filter part number in the future keep that wix filter number and any part store should cross it over to any brand of filter you want.

[@RayanM50B25]

If you didn't know rb25s did come stock in y33 glorias so I'm sure it would be pretty easy to swap one in

[@WilkaJzx100]

Rb gloria would be so sick!

[@GD7LTD]

Jgtc cars have completely modified suspension and modified wheel wells/archs. There’s a recent wrx build floating around built with the same styling. Looks cool for sure.

[@hatsunepengu4785]

I hope Mike keeps getting smashed cars and Frankensteining other cars to make them whole again I love it so much

[@Danny-T87]

Not going to lie that Z looks really good going sideways but she be sooooooooo wiiiiiidddeee but butter smooth!!!

[@imnota]

It doesn't matter that you can't preload, research "preload is a myth" on youtube and you'll understand, all it does is to keep the spring tight and not clanking around when drooping, which a helper spring does the same thing, it gets basically fully compressed with weight sitting on it but keeps the spring from being loose when drooping. Many coilovers, high end ones actually adjust the height directly via the spring perch, with the use of a helper spring, another perk being that your suspension travel effectively shortens the same amount as you lower the car, which is what you want to prevent a hard bottomout from the suspension being mechanically limited, instead you actually make proper use of the bump stops. You won't ever really see an actual race coil with shock length adjustment, usually just spring perch, even for super high end like AST, Nitron, MCS, etc

[@sidewayzslider]

a quick connect disposable cup system would change travis's life painting those cars. appreciate the content and the vibes man its pushed me to begin looking for another s13.

[@stamatiskout1540]

You can upgrade the clutches in the diff so they lock up better

[@nyleen]

Don't worry about 1st gear skids. Especially if you're doing slow speed doughnuts or short corners it's fine. Just don't limmy bash. 👍

[@japstyle.z3123]

Love the content man ! As cool as it would be to swap the VG30 out of that thing. It would be so simple to swap a Z31 manual transmission and stock turbo setup with a simple intercooler system you’d be pretty close to 300hp if not maybe more depending on supporting mods. Plus NAT2 VGs with the T3 turbo sound amazing.

[@kindasorta]

honestly dont know what to comment but i wanna boost the algrythim!! cool video!

[@joshparks269]

Man I wish I lived closer so I could come hang out with you guys… I need more car friends!

[@milotomlinson2644]

I have a good idea for an engine swap, a VQ35DE, it's reliable, has options for manual trans, has lots of bolt on mods, and you can find them in almost every Pathfinder, 370z and other Nissans.

[@adrianncharles436]

This car looks awesome with rims just fix the back and you have a perfect ride

[@GabrielFujiwara43]

5:19 mike telling people to don't this type of maneuvers at home most brazilian gearheads doing it in their garage, in a roundabout, in the middle of an busy avenue, you name it: ... welp, too late

[@RayquazaKing04]

I remember accidentally cracking a newer toyota windshield while working at the shop during the summer, was not fun

[@PrizzaMike]

Oof :/

[@Jokessss]

You might wanna evict mr spidey before he decides the gloria is its forever home🤣

[@KARR]

The NA Z is 4.08 same as a 240. You can just weld the vlsd.

[@mickfbr]

Gotta love the PFI sticker on the lower control arm..

[@ryan302turbo]

met a guy last night who bought a Gloria. 5 speed swap a Nissan v6 i have not seen before, but it had a big turbo and only paid 8k for it crazy told him about this channel

[@boerharms2209]

that big chassis really needs an RB if you ask me. Car is super clean from the bottom BTW!

[@Abogado-Del-Diablo]

As aZ31 owner my advice would be to keep the VG30 it’s a great engine excellent internals and even in NA form can be Turbo’d very easily also the sound is far better than any 4 banger. 😆😆😆😆

[@jasonpetrich4141]

Nice I love k&n parts. And that's exactly how my carolla is with filter in the front from the top.

[@gateaccess818]

na- 5 spd diff is money! my 2+0 z32 slides soooo damn easy. never have intermittent locking issues. and its also a VLSD

[@hellamikey]

I'm for keeping the VG. Easy to make power, compact, and loads of torque.

[@Halfangelsinner]

This guy made 240’s popular asf!❤

[@DillonR55]

Cant wait to see the Gloria finished!

[@s15melb]

JTCC had 19's and tube subframes that were raised in the chassis. The Primera looked so cool!

[@tofu808]

You should go RB25DET! 95 and older(y33) Gloria offered RB25s and (y32) offered RD28 (diesel version to the RBs). Also believe the body is the same as the Cedric minus the front styling.

[@nao_tomori]

came for Gloria content, stayed for wolf spiders

[@ElyRodriguez92]

Those vg engines are very reliable and they make good power stock with a turbo kit

[@dylandrumhero6]

Wanna get pro at pouring oil.. it’s all about the side pour… you can get it closer to the hole and control the dumpage better 🤘

[@rhyshedrick3111]

An RB in the Gloria would be sick

[@Smazes]

Working in detail at dealerships. I always hated getting a razorblade to get the stickers off the windows.

[@apollodaape]

ive been waiting for gloria content its such a sick car

[@user-mv1ln5cc3u]

You should make a rear half cut into a trailer for the Gloria

[@dannyauto5901]

looking forward to see what you will do to the Gloria, amazing car❤🤟🤘💪❤️👌

[@toyomatt84]

JTCC cars ran very oversized wheels, mostly custom suspension arms, and limited steering travel to prevent the wheels hitting the fenders.

[@WesttNunezz]

Dude you're so chill, so down to earth, props to you

[@BlueXonar]

The last time I tried to drift in the rain with a worn out VLSD I ended up crashing into a roundabout and turning my lower control arm into a banana. It started to slide, then it went straight, then the other side locked up and sent me up the curb. 😂

[@Owshie]

Finally been waiting for this! and btw that z can surprisingly drift flawlessly with that ka

[@franciscosolorzano480]

I got a z32 diff in my s13 and all I did was change the cover .. to the original s13 diff

[@Phymatic]

That Honda is honestly sitting perfect as is lol

[@Murban91]

it does look like the Gloria had an RD28 (RB's diesel version) as an engine option

[@satoisme]

You can always swap the front 4.6 pinion and ring from an xterra into the z's rear end to help shorten those gears.

[@cbrief06_65]

another day another PrizzaMike upload 🙏

[@Smitbag]

z32 subframe is wider than the s/r chassis. s13 diff has different mounts so you cant use it in z32 subframe. you can use a s14/j30. or put the welded/lsd carrier from the s13 into the z32 diff. they are both r200 short nose with the same axle spline count. you will just have to find a solution for axles/stubs. weither you use 6 bolt or 5 bolts. z32s also have longer axles, the same lengths as z33, j30, and g50 q45. or take the easy route and just weld the vlsd.

[@rubimk3]

Gloria is gonna be so clean once that half cut goes on. Can't wait!

[@giovannilegue2177]

the 240 sx driving past while u were rain drifting that shit lowkey goes crazy lmfao

[@Red_GR86]

Nice vid! Hope to see more on the gloria

[@ImWillsZX]

with the stock diff, try leaning on the brake a bit, helps alot, works nice

[@therestingmitchface6241]

13:35 hyped Tim knows about JTCC cars and he’s right, those were raced hella low

[@OnlyMags24]

Looks like your part of the vg game now. The motor is the same as early z31 300zx, so any old 300zx trans should theoretically bolt to the vg block.

[@eightball941]

I love that Si, and the lowering job is sick! Good choice with the Yokohama tires on there too.

[@issacdixon6823]

The front suspension set up an engine bay looks extremely similar to my z31 300z

[@QuattroWayne]

I can't wait to see it done

[@user-mn55az61x]

nissan glorias are very underated

[@Tredecim1331]

Mike never runs out of quality content

[@Tech_481]

Another awesome video as always!

[@Ren200Z_MotoringLife]

i use a z32 diff on my s13 just swap the rear cover and get the matching diff ears to match the axles in your case you would need a s13 diff with 5 bolt ears or a s14 diff easy bolt on choise , but any z32 manual NON TURBO z32 diff is the same gearing as the s13 4:08 gearing.... on another note that gloria should have some chassis similarities with the infinity Q45 if you run into any at the wrecking yards

[@david929190]

I wanna see the 240 getting prepped for paint. You did the impossible but now need to finish!

[@zeenorwood9059]

THE VERY SECOND YOU GET THE BACK HALF ON PLEASE AND I MEAN PLEASE copy the fenders with carbine fiber and find a place to copy the windows so you have them on file and then you can not worry I had to do this for my mazda mx6 and I love in Chicago so I had to so please do it from one 1⃣ of 1⃣ driver to another

[@codybaker502]

VG30 is highly underrated. I have two z31s and they rip.

[@familysanders4540]

I think the G is dope. But I think the price is kinda steep. It’s definitely very well built but like u said, it’s still a G35 at the end of the day. But GO LOOK AT THAT VIPER THO

[@nickalderman5943]

grab a used manual na diff and shim the vlsd, you'll have the quicker lock and a 4.08 final drive. They're pretty abundant on the z parts groups on fb, the tt guys can't hook with the na diff

[@KARR]

All NA z32 are r200 4.08 rather auto or manual. it’s the same ratio as a stock 240sx r200 4.08 only the TT had the longer ratio of 3.69 and it was a r230.

[@Silvergoatdc4]

franzy with them angles zayammm

[@Shortstack9911]

That vg is a good motor but horrible to work on my experience from vg series motors is the best upgrade or fix is throw it away. You’ll love spark plugs #6 is behind the plenum on the back of the head

[@crystalcactuis.w]

gotta love that outro

[@MasterTurbo1511]

you should put the wheels from the Gloria to the z it would look so hot
